Mr LO Sai-cheong, a veteran media person with 39 years of relevant experience, has worked as a leader of the social service team of a newspaper, a well-known radio host, and an executive producer.

In 1986, Mr. Lo created the first magazine-style radio program for the elderly in Hong Kong, providing listeners with the latest information and entertainment. From then on, he planned and produced a number of large-scale popular activities for the elderly before his retirement.

After retiring in 2015, Mr. Lo took a short break and did some traveling. Then, he devoted himself to different volunteer services and continued to plan activities for several social welfare organizations, hold sharing sessions and undertake the tasks of being an emcee, a host and a volunteer mentor, etc. Even during the epidemic, he still helped several social welfare organizations to shoot video clips to encourage the elderly who stayed at home. Besides, he was often invited and interviewed to share his experience and retirement life.

In addition to serving the elderly in Hong Kong, Mr. Lo went to Dongguan to exchange ideas with local social welfare units and visit the elderly. In 2017, he went to Tianjin with the student volunteer group of Hong Kong, joining local student volunteers to participate in service activities of primary students to help the elderly and support the children there.
